Duke’s Chronicle Outs JinC
As Regulars here know I publish pseudonymously as have many others including Mark Twain and some of our founders.
Honesty and reasonableness are what I strive to bring you; and if I do that, what harm is there in allowing me some privacy?
And who can’t understand my wanting to stay as much as possible out of the line of fire of people who trashed the students on Duke’s Men’s and Women’s lacrosse teams, their coaches, their families and others who spoke up for them?
From time to time I’ve disclosed to someone my identity when I thought doing so could serve a useful purpose.
One of those times was in the fall of 2006 when I disclosed it to Ryan McCartney, then editor of Duke’s student newspaper, The Chronicle (TC), and currently its editorial page editor.
I’d called McCartney to complain about: 1) TC’s failure to editorially condemn those who’d threatened Reade Seligmann, circulated “Vigilante” posters on campus, etc.; and 2) to ask TC to explain why it hadn’t asked the Brodhead administration and the trustees to explain why they’d remained silent in those circumstances.

On that fitful weekend in late March when the TV satellite trucks hit campus, the lacrosse team could be seen practicing for the Georgetown game, a scene that became an endless video loop suggesting institutional indifference. “We had to stop those pictures,” Bob Steel says. “It doesn’t mean that it’s fair, but we had to stop it. It doesn’t necessarily mean I think it was right—it just had to be done.”)

“Steel is going to f**k those lacrosse players.”
